After nearly a month away from the game of basketball following surgery on his right hand, Russell Westbrook returned tonight against the New York Knicks. Even though he played only 24 minutes, Westbrook made his time on the court ridiculously entertaining and showed us all why he is one of the most fun players to watch in the league right now. It didn't take long for Russ to settle in, driving past Iman Shumpert and delivering a thunderous jam.
